[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1661711, member: 39695"] When we sell privately, we sell based on the live price that we could have got at Tyson. Our last load of fats avg 1415lbs live and yielded 62%. So 877lbs hanging. They brought $1.10 live which = $1,556 per animal. Divide that by 877 and you get $1.77/lb hanging with no processing. If we have an emergency, they get ground. We sell 1½lb packages for $5. I have a good friend who sells quarters. He pays the processing. He charges $5.25lb. He said it works out to about $200 per str more than he would get from the packers. I think he sold 20 strs that way last yr. They keep about 300 on feed year round so it's still a small %. [/QUOTE]
